Sowing/Planting and Flowering/Harvesting Guide

GROWING INSTRUCTIONS: Sow indoors, January-March, in pots or trays of seed compost, gently pressing the fine seeds into the surface. Keep moist and maintain a temperature of 20-25°C (68-77°F). Once seedlings have emerged, gradually reduce to about 15°C (60°F); a warm windowsill is often sufficient. Thin (prick out) to further pots or trays when seedlings are large enough to handle. Gradually harden them off before planting out in June, spacing 20cm (8”) apart. Needs a sunny spot and well-drained soil. Flowers: June to October.
